This is my "biker slut" costume from Windycon
1991. Yes, I wore this to work at the United Methodist Church
office for Halloween the next year. Note the "biker gopher"
on the floor, made by the toymaker Elaine!

From Chicon, the World Science Fiction Convention
in 1991, this is my "Mad Max Universe Post-Apocalyptic Ragpicker"(I
had a thing for sucked-in cheeks that year). The guy to whom
I handed my camera managed to cut off my foot, so it's hard to
see that my boots don't match.

On Halloween of 1994, I vamped out at work at the
United Methodist Church office, making use once again of the
valedictorian medal.

Oh, sweetiedarling! Don't you know that animal prints
were the big thing by Windycon of 1996? Well, Eddie Monsoon (from
the Britcom "Absolutely Fabulous") thought so, anyway!
She would have died of embarrassment to learn that the jacket
came from the Salvation Army!

This is Flutter, the Cirque du Soleil clown. (Note
the butterfly on her hat.) This was taken at my office at the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering on the campus
of Northwestern University on Halloween of 1997 by my supervisor,
Joanna Gwinn.

Here is Jake again, as the Gnome of Knowledge, the
Ax of Facts, the Drew Carey of the So-Smart-He's-Scary! The one,
the only, the BEAKMAN! That's me as his sidekick, Phoebe. (We
couldn't get anybody to wear the ratsuit.) The photo processing
lab thought that the coat was supposed to be yellow--I did the
best I could greening it up, but now it looks like it glows in
the dark, which it just well might! Taken at Windycon 1997.

This is me at Windycon in 1999, as Aeryn Sun from
"Farscape". If you don't buy that, let's just call
it paramilitary duds and leave it at that.

Also from Windycon 1999, here I am dressed as Dana
Scully of the X-Files. The fake FBI badge features a Northwestern
University seal and is authorized by J. Edgar Hoover. The fake cross
necklace came from Woolworth's.
